Welcome to the Edging Tiles category on Tiles4less.co.uk. Edging tiles, also known as tile trims, are crucial for providing a finished look to your tile installations. These trims serve to protect the edges of tiles from chipping, offer a smooth transition between different surfaces, and add an aesthetic touch to your project. Below is a comprehensive overview of the various types of edging tiles we offer and guidance on selecting the perfect one for your needs.

What Are Edging Tiles?

Edging tiles are the final touch that brings polish and professionalism to any tiling project. These trims, often made from PVC, aluminium, or stainless steel, are designed to protect exposed tile edges, create clean transitions, and enhance visual continuity between tiled surfaces and adjacent materials. Whether you’re tiling a kitchen splashback, bathroom wall, or floor edge, edging tiles ensure your corners and borders are safe, neat, and long-lasting.

PVC Edging Tiles

Round Edge PVC Trim

With options like the Deluxe Round Edge PVC Trim from BEAVA and the PVC Regular Round Edge Trim from GENESIS, these PVC trims are ideal for providing a soft finish to your tiling edges. Great for areas where safety is a concern, such as kids' rooms or elder-friendly spaces, due to their rounded edges. Consider the area of installation; for more trafficked areas, the deluxe version might offer added durability.

PVC Straight Edge Trim

This straight-edge trim by GENESIS offers another versatile option in PVC, ensuring a straight line finish without the rounded or sharp edges. Ideal for minimalist designs and spaces where you want a subtle boundary without any pronounced design. If you're after simplicity and functionality, this is your go-to option.

Benefits of Edging Tiles

• Neat, Professional Finish: Hides cut tile edges and grout lines for a clean, seamless look.
• Adds Style & Definition: Enhances the overall design with contrast or matching trims.
• Improves Safety: Rounded edges reduce sharp corners—ideal in homes with children or elderly residents.

Applications of Edging Tile

Edging tiles are highly versatile and suitable for a variety of residential and commercial projects, including:

• Bathroom walls and shower enclosures
• Kitchen splashbacks and worktop surrounds
• Tiled floors with exposed edges
• Window reveals and external corners
• Feature wall borders
• Transitions between tiles and other materials (e.g. laminate, paint, wallpaper)

Guidance on the Selection of Edging Tiles

Choosing the right edging tile depends on your project’s layout, style, and function:

• Straight Edge Trims: Ideal for modern, clean-lined aesthetics—great with square-cut tiles.
• Round Edge Trims: Offer a softer finish and added safety—perfect for family bathrooms or curved tile profiles.
• Material:
  • PVC: Lightweight, affordable, and suitable for most indoor applications.
  • Aluminium or Metal: Better for high-impact or commercial areas.
• Colour Matching: Match the tile for a seamless finish, or contrast for a stylish border effect.
• Size: Choose a trim height that matches or slightly exceeds the tile thickness for a flush finish.

Caring Tips for Edging Tiles

To keep your tile trims looking their best:

• Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergent—avoid harsh abrasives.
• Wipe down wet areas to reduce watermarks and limescale.
• Check for movement or gaps periodically, especially near high-traffic or water-prone areas.
